Charles Steel McNaughton (May 1911 – November 20, 1987) was a Canadian politician, who served as a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario for the electoral district of Huron from 1958 to 1973.
McNaughton was born in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan in 1911 and grew up and lived in Brandon, Manitoba, where he worked in the seed industry, before moving to Exeter, Ontario in 1944 as a seed distributor.[1] Before being elected in a May 1958 by-election, Charlie had been heavily involved in the community. He was a founding member of the South Huron Hospital in Exeter and served as a member of the South Huron District High School Board for nine years, including two as chairman. He was successful in being re-elected in the 1959, 1963, 1967, and 1971 general elections.
He was treasurer from 1968 to 1971 and also served as:
- Minister of Transportation and Communications

McNaughton died in Exeter on November 20, 1987.[2] He was married to Adeline M. W. Fulcher (1913–1997)[3] and was survived by son, the late John MacNaughton (d. 2013), a Toronto investment banker[4] and Heather MacNaughton. MacNaughton is buried in the Exeter Cemetery, Huron County, Ontario.
